She Wasn't as Clueless
She Wasn't as Clueless
"There," Rose said slowly.
Anastasia followed her gaze and saw a supermarket. Anastasia was still puzzled when Rose's voice sounded again.
"Go buy some water if you're thirsty. I won't accompany you."
With that, Rose smiled at Anastasia and walked away. She reached Jonathan's car parked by the roadside. Jonathan had rolled down the window. Rose opened the door and got in swiftly. "Let's go," she said as she fastened her seatbelt.
Without delay, Jonathan drove off.
Through the rearview mirror, Rose saw Anastasia's displeased face outside the building, arms crossed in anger, glaring at her.
Jonathan also noticed Anastasia. He had received news about Mr. Young Senior finding his granddaughter, though it hadn't been announced publicly.
He had also learned that some partners had terminated their contracts with Celeste Jewels today. There must be someone from the Young family involved in this.
Thinking about Anastasia's furious expression moments ago, Jonathan smirked,
"What did you do to make Anastasia so upset? Aren't you afraid she'll cause trouble for you?"
Considering Jonathan's connection with Anastasia, Rose glanced at him.
"Why? Do you pity her?"
A hint of jealousy lingered in her words. Jonathan was slightly surprised, then chuckled softly.
"No, but it seems like you are jealous."
Rose gave
him an eye roll and denied, "Jealous of what? Besides... She's already caused trouble for me. Even if I begged her, she might not show mercy. So, what's there to fear?"
Jonathan looked at her with slight astonishment. He didn't expect that she already knew who was behind the events at Celeste Jewels today.
Rose wasn't as clueless as he thought. Jonathan's admiration for her grew stronger. Meanwhile, Anastasia's expression darkened outside Century Tower.
Rose had shown her no face. Asking if she was thirsty and telling her to go buy water was a clear mockery that she talked too much. Moreover, Rose left in a car driven by Jonathan!
"Damn it!"
Jonathan personally came to pick her up. He truly cared for Rose. Anastasia was consumed with jealousy and frustration. She expected to see Rose in distress, but Rose acted as if nothing had happened. The burglary at the company last night, the mass resignations this morning, and then the termination of contracts with partners. How could Rose be so calm?
She Wasn't as Cù
Did she seek help from Jonathan? The idea made Anastasia uneasy. If Rose knew Jonathan's real identity, it wouldn't bode well for Anastasia. She needed to act fast, especially regarding that diamond. Anastasia's gaze turned deep. She didn't want any more delay. Her actions today were meant to provoke Rose and appease Kelly. Now that she had done her part, she needed to focus on her plans. "Hmph, Rose, just you wait!"NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Anastasia gritted her teeth with a fierce gaze. Without wasting a moment, she got into her car and headed for the workshop.
At the Young Estate, Kelly had been having a very comfortable time these days. One day, Mr. Young Senior suddenly expressed his desire to meet her adopted parents, Chelsea and Jamie. Kelly didn't want Mr. Young Senior to meet her adoptive parents, but she knew it was inevitable.
"Grandpa, my mom... She doesn't know I'm your granddaughter. She's timid. After marrying Dad, she's been at home and rarely seen the world."
She smiled and continued, "Mom always treated me as her daughter. I'm worried she'll be scared, and I'm concerned she won't be able to accept that I've found my real family."
Kelly looked genuinely concerned, and Mr. Young Senior found her kindness endearing.
"Sorry, I didn't think it through," Mr. Young Senior said softly.
Seeing his frown, Kelly hurried to soothe, "Grandpa, could I talk to them first? Let my mom prepare herself mentally. I think she might find it easier to accept that way."
Mr. Young Senior agreed with a smile.
"Alright, that sounds good. I'll arrange for a car to take you there." Kelly nodded, "Thank you, Grandpa."
In less than an hour, Kelly returned to the Shaffer residence. Jamie wasn't at home when Kelly arrived, Though Kelly had been staying at the Young Estate these days, she kept in touch with Chelsea. Kelly seemed more radiant than ever in designer clothes.
"Kelly, where have you been these days? Why didn't you call?" Chelsea immediately put on a show as she saw Patrick.
"Mom, I'm fine these days. There's something I need to tell you..."
Kelly glanced at Patrick. Patrick nodded and excused himself. Now, only Kelly and Chelsea remained in
the room.
"Mom, look, being part of the Young family is indeed prestigious."
Kelly was excited. Chelsea was pleased too.
"Indeed, it's excellent. My daughter is now the princess of the Young family. You'll have a promising future. However, Kelly frowned.
"Mom, I'm Henrietta's daughter now. If I want to become the princess of the Young family, I can only be She Wasn't as Clueless
Henrietta's daughter." Kelly corrected.
Chelsea understood.
"Of course, you are Henrietta's daughter. I'm just your adopted mother. Don't worry. I'll keep this secret for you. But, about your dad ..."
Kelly was Jamie and Celeste's illegitimate daughter. After Jamie and Celeste married, Jamie secretly maintained a relationship with Chelsea, resulting in Kelly's birth.
Chelsea raised her outside of their family. They kept it a secret from Celeste. Only after her death did they bring Kelly home, claiming her as a stepdaughter Celeste brought into the marriage with Jamie. But they both knew Kelly was their biological daughter. They enjoyed everything Celeste left behind, but things were different now.
"Mom, Grandpa believes in my new identity, but I'm still worried. If he ever becomes suspicious and investigates our blood ties, it could be troubling." Kelly expressed her concerns.
She had secretly obtained Rose's hair follicles to prove her relation to Mr. Young Senior. But it Mr. Young Senior ever decided to investigate Jamie and Chelsea, she wouldn't be able to prepare in advance.
